Modern corporate event spaces are more than just a place to gather and network, they play a vital role in forming the overall experience for the guests and stakeholders attending your event. The right venue with the right features can enhance productivity, foster better collaboration, and leave a lasting impression.
From the perfect location to incorporating the right tech into the right spaces, MYO knows what it takes to design a great event space for every situation.
Read on to find out more about the features your business should be looking for when searching for your next modern corporate event space.
1. Wellbeing built in at every stage
Employee and guest wellbeing is a crucial element when considering event spaces. If your people aren’t at their best, how can they do their best? Spaces that promote calmness while also invigorating participation are ideal. That’s why MYO has invested heavily into our buildings, choosing to let wellbeing guide our designs, instead of trying to retrospectively add it in.
When it comes to all our spaces, our welling considerations include:
- Upgrading acoustics to reduce noise pollution and boost concentration
- High-quality lighting to support eye health
- An abundance of natural light
- Demand-controlled ventilation, with additional filters to maintain an optimum air quality
2. Support from the right tech
It’s the 21st century and your events should feel like they’re in it. Employing the latest tech can transform your events, driving engagement and increasing their longstanding impact. We believe this is one of the most important considerations when deciding on your corporate event space. Vital things to look out for are:
- Suitable mic and speaker systems. You want your guests to hear what’s being said.
- Sufficient screen space to aid in conveying your messages.
- Video conferencing cameras to ensure equity of experience for remote attendees.
- And, when required, roaming mics that allow you to easily hear questions, driving audience participation
Below is a range of the tech that is available at MYO’s event spaces* across London for our clients to utilise to make their events bigger, better, and more engaging than ever:
- 85” wall 4k screens
- Mobile 55” screens
- Ceiling mics and speakers
- Conferencing cameras
- Projectors
- USB and HDMI connections
- Roaming mics
*Note: the availability of this equipment differs between office locations.
3. Sustainable considerations
It’s not only important to think about the impact that spaces have on our employees and colleagues, but also that which they have on the planet. Choosing a corporate event space that is environmentally friendly can help contribute towards your company’s green commitments, vision, and perception, helping your business do good work without costing the Earth.
Our MYO workspaces aren’t just good for visitor wellbeing, but they’re also great for the environment. We have taken care to design environmentally sustainable elements into the heart and soul of every MYO office. Check out some of our spaces’ green credentials below:

- Biophilic design throughout
- Striving for energy efficiency through utilising rainwater and LED lighting
- 80% recycling target
4. Location, location, location
The right location can help create a great impression for participants before your event has even begun. Good transport links and connectivity are essential for stress-free journeys, helping visitors arrive in good moods, ready to participate and engage with your event. Be sure to check out rail, car, bus, and even river connections to ensure that your participants can get to the event easily wherever they’re coming from.
All of MYO’s locations are positioned in central locales, offering easily accessible corporate event spaces in London, with fantastic nearby amenities. MYO has locations in the following areas of London:
5. Customisable choices
Every corporate event is unique and requires an element of customisation to tailor for different activities and group sizes. You don’t want to be stuck with a room of chairs if you need tables for breakout group work, in the same way you wouldn’t want a huge open space for an intimate boardroom-style conference.
Venues that offer modular rooms, movable walls, and adaptable layouts are key to making sure that you get the perfect space for your event.
From terraces and event suites to atrium receptions and boardrooms, MYO has a range of flexible work spaces across London that can be adapted to best facilitate each event. A good example is the Lane-Fox space in our Victoria Street office, which exploits the flexibility of MYO’s meeting spaces. Here we can bring together two smaller meeting rooms to create a 22-person boardroom, or an up to 50 people theatre. With MYO, the choice is yours.
6. The extra touches
You have the perfect location, your event is ready to go, but you need that one service to bring it all together. The best event spaces in London are also great facilitators and should be able to help recommend and source the services you need to make your event a reality.
At MYO, we can offer additional paid-for services to ensure that your corporate event is as big a success as possible. We can recommend a range of trusted partners that offer industry-leading levels of service from catering to AV/IT support.
From ensuring the right technology is integrated, to prioritising sustainability and wellbeing, choosing the right modern corporate event space involves considering a variety of factors to ensure your event is a success. By focusing on the features outlined above, you can create a memorable and impactful event that meets your needs as a business and the expectations of your participants.
